You can't really say that the narrative supports Belkar's behavior, either explicitly or implicitly, and in fact the narrative itself forces him to "Evolve or Die" into a much more traditional protagonist: personally, my money is on Redemption=Death by the end for him.
A pretty safe bet when the Oracle has said Belkar is going to die before the end of the comic.

So if D&D games feature even the protagonists occasionally engaging in racism but regularly portray it as bad then they're good to go, right?
